viewing spooled files on screen
I'm fairly new to the 400 system (usually unix/windows) and recently
picked up an old 9406 system.
I've been just poking around so far and alot of the keystrokes are
listed on the screen.
Since I don't have a printer to dump output to, if I'm in Display
Spooled File and I have more on the screen with "More..." listed at the
bottom, what would the keystroke or F key be to see more pages?

the F1 key describes all the other keys.

Re: viewing spooled files on screen
Page down/page up is probably what you want. Most OS/400 screens have
context sensitive help built in. Put the cursor on the field in question
and press F1.

Re: viewing spooled files on screen
cjbst59,
If you are new to the AS/400, see if you can get iSeries Access
installed on a PC. Then use iSeries Navigator. It gives you a GUI
display of system functions and resources, including spool files. It
also lets you drag spool files to your PC desktop.
